Announced at GameSpot the third sequel to Guitar Hero will be hitting the shelves sometime this fall. Activision and developer Neversoft showed off World Tour’s new guitar, which will feature a multipurpose “touch strip” that, among other uses, accommodates DragonForce-style finger-tapping solos and adds a distortion effect separate from the standard whammy bar.

As previously announced, all tunes in World Tour will be master tracks, and the game’s creators also teased the first few tunes from its substantive roster. During the media briefing, Neversoft performed Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell,” The Foo Fighters’ “Everlong,” and Sublime’s “Santeria,” and said that Linkin Park, Van Halen, and The Eagles would also lend tracks to the game. As per the Intellisponse leak, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Smashing Pumpkins, Korn, System of a Down, Ozzy Osbourne, Interpol, and Muse are also rumored to be part of that setlist, which will include roughly 85 songs in total.

Guitar Hero: World Tour will be available on the the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, and Wii this fall. The pricing information for this ear shattering release is yet to be announced but rumors speculate the bundle will be priced between $179 and $189.
